gitbay is a CLI-first git forge. This is its iOS client: somewhere to read, review and respond when you are away from a keyboard. Sign in with a token you mint over SSH. There is no password, no browser flow, and no account with us — the app talks only to the instance you name, and the token stays in the device Keychain. BROWSE - Files, directory trees, and syntax-highlighted source - Commit history, a single commit with its patch, and blame - Branches, tags, and full-text search across a repository - READMEs and wikis, rendered as Markdown or Org REVIEW - Merge requests with the diff, file by file and hunk by hunk - Review threads anchored to diff lines, with replies and resolution - Approve, request changes, and merge with the strategies the server allows TRIAGE - Issues with labels, assignees, and milestones - Open, edit, comment, and close from the phone - Signature verdicts shown on every commit WATCH - A dashboard of what waits on your review, what is assigned to you, and what is still open - CI builds with their logs, and a trigger for any job the config names - Releases, organisations, teams, and profiles Every screen is backed by a command the server already exposes, so the app cannot drift from what the CLI and the web can do. Requires your own gitbay instance. gitbay is free software; the forge and this client are developed in the open at gitbay.org.
